The Linked Senior Program addresses the emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social and physical aspects of wellness with their product.

Linked Senior can be connected to a touch screen kiosk in common areas of MCC. It is connected 24/7 to the Internet. Being web based, the content is constantly and automatically updated. The kiosk can pull on interests, such as a time period for those who suffering with Dementia, personal interest such as gardening, or a particular music that a resident would enjoy talking about or would find soothing. Families' members in other long term care settings have found this to be very helpful in initiating conversations with their loved ones.

"We are thankful to Boilermaker Road Race for the opportunity to partner with them again this coming year. Our runners are motivated to run in honor and memory often of a loved one. Some run in honor of our residents who can no longer run themselves. It is with the financial support of organizations such as the Boilermaker, that continue to make the Masonic Care Community known for its high quality of care that is provided to the residents" stated Victoria Cataldo, Director of Development.
